Not all angels have wings

I still remember when I first saw you,

Didn’t know then what you were gonna do,

You walked into my life like a Sunday morning,

Didn’t know you were the answer I’d been asking for.

Now you’re standing there with your hand in mine,

And there’s a little heartbeat keeping perfect time,

Girl, somewhere between that first hello and now,

You became the woman I can’t live without.

And I don’t know what I did to deserve

A love like yours in this old world,

But every night when I close my eyes,

I thank God you’re here by my side.

‘Cause not all angels have wings,

Some wear blue jeans and diamond rings,

Some lay their head on your shoulder at night,

Some hold your hand when you ain’t alright.

Some carry heaven underneath their heart,

Some love you enough to never fall apart.

And if God ever sent an angel down to me,

He gave her your smile and your eyes I see.

Yeah, you’re my answered prayer, my everything,

Keirsten, my angel—

Not all angels have wings.

Now there’s a little one on the way,

A tiny piece of us we’re gonna hold someday,

And when I see you carrying our baby’s life,

Girl, I swear you couldn’t look more beautiful tonight.

I’ll be there for the midnight tears,

The sleepless nights and the changing years,

I’ll hold your hand through every unknown,

‘Cause wherever you are, that’s where I’m home.

And when this world gets heavy on your heart,

I’ll remind you who you are,

You’re stronger than you know, my love,

And you’ve got me when the road gets rough.

‘Cause not all angels have wings,

Some wear blue jeans and diamond rings,

Some lay their head on your shoulder at night,

Some hold your hand when you ain’t alright.

Some carry heaven underneath their heart,

Some love you enough to never fall apart.

And if God ever sent an angel down to me,

He gave her your smile and your eyes I see.

Yeah, you’re my answered prayer, my everything,

Keirsten, my angel—

Not all angels have wings.

The Bible says in Ecclesiastes four,

“Two are better than one,” and I couldn’t want more.

And Proverbs says her children call her blessed,

And I swear, baby, you deserve nothing less.

‘Cause you’re gonna be the mother of our child,

And I’ll watch you teach them with that beautiful smile.

I’ll tell them how their mama changed my life,

How loving you made everything alright.

If the Lord gives us eighty years together,

I’ll love you through every kind of weather.

When we’re young, when we’re old, when our hair turns gray,

I’ll still reach for your hand the very same way.

And when we look back at the life we’ve made,

At the family, the memories, the plans we’ve laid,

I’ll look across that old front porch and say,

“Thank God He sent my angel my way.”

‘Cause not all angels have wings,

Some rock a baby and sing lullabies,

Some turn a house into a home,

Some make forever feel like it ain’t long.

Some carry heaven underneath their heart,

Some love you w
